Turner was with the regiment the full
four years of Its service and took part in
all the principle battles in which the reg
iment was engaged, being, during the
time in no hospital nor claiming relief
from, or Sinking duty wherever or
whenever his country called. He en-
listed as private and for meritorious
service was promoted to a Lieutenancy.
He was on the color guard two years and
tor one year faithfully bore the colors
where the fight was the thickest, never
f1inching, though comrades were falling
thlckly around him. This simple recog-
milton from the government is merited by
the brave and gallant soldier.
